Had dtv for years and then grew tired of the lack of improvements, crappy guide, box fees, and the Apple TV streaming app being exclusive for the Stream sub.
Switched to antenna for locals and YTTV. YTTV didn’t get Laker games so eventually I canceled and signed up for Spectrum cable. Quality was AWFUL. I’m shocked they have subscribers that are okay with cable looking worse than streaming.
Thursday night I decided to see what’s new with directv and saw the Gemini and that the streaming apps work for Satellite now too. Signed up for a Gemini with just 1 box since I only watch in 1 room most of the time. Have the app on my Apple TV.
Install happened a few hours later early in the morning. Installer said they were shocked since nobody signs up for satellite anymore. Got an HS17, Gemini, and Deca. I pulled out the wireless antennas in the 17 right away since I don’t want causing any interference, paired the gemini with deca and then switched to Ethernet.
All in - very happy with this new and improved directv. Picture quality is outstanding. Just hope they can update the gemini to turn off HDR or even allow a native mode. I only want HDR on for an actual HDR program.
Who would have thought - all they needed was for ATT to step aside. I’m glad they lost Sunday Ticket - hated paying for the whole thing just to get RedZone. Now we can get redzone for cheap without the Sunday ticket max cost.
